Directors’ and Officers’ Liability 

As we progress into 2025, the market remains in a soft cycle. However, we are starting to see signs that we may be nearing the bottom of this phase. Currently, average rate reductions are around 5 to 10%, primarily due to sustained competitive pressure within the industry.

Importantly, insurers are beginning to resist offering substantial discounts, showing more determination in maintaining their pricing structures. This change is happening against the backdrop of an increasingly challenging claims environment.

Coverage

The range of coverage available to policyholders continues to expand.

We are proud to introduce our new D&O wording, which offers a best-in-class product designed to provide our clients with the most comprehensive protection possible. Securing broad coverage now is crucial, as market conditions may change, potentially limiting future opportunities for enhanced coverage. Acting today ensures that clients are well-prepared for whatever the future may hold.

Rating

As mentioned previously, average rate reductions currently range from 5% to 10%.

However, we believe that certain accounts are still significantly overpriced, which allows us, in some exceptional cases, to negotiate discounts of up to 40%. It is important to emphasize that these larger reductions are not the norm. The current decrease in rates is primarily driven by intense market competition, along with companies tightening their financial strategies to mitigate insolvency risks.

Appetite

The D&O market continues to demonstrate a substantial appetite.

Many insurers have turned their attention towards sectors that were previously overlooked, to achieve their growth objectives. Considering the increasing instances of insolvency, there’s a growing emphasis among insurers on the insured’s financial capacity to sustain the forthcoming 12 months. 

Capacity

Capacity-wise, we haven’t seen any new entrants to the market in 2025.

Insurers continue to look to increase lines to compensate for the premium rate drops.
